Back Development and Testing of Advanced Materials for Use in Non-Lethal Weapons

Fiscal Year 2020
Division Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science
Department Physics
Investigator(s) Mason, Brian P.
Sponsor Joint Warfare Analysis Center (Joint)
Summary This funding provides support for Naval Postgraduate School students and faculty to develop and test non-energetic materials for a variety of non-lethal weapons effects of operational interest to the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC). Specific details of the particular weapons systems are not publicly releasable and are discussed via confidential direct meetings between the sponsor, NPS students, NPS faculty, and relevant DoD component personnel in a secure facility. Final deliverables for non-lethal materials include a technical report describing the preparation of materials (if applicable) and their effects, and may include recommendations for materials delivery using existing or modified DoD systems.
